Target offers most of its Black Friday deals — including Doorbusters — online. Avoid the crowds and shop in your own home!

2. Only go in store on Black Friday if you must have a Special Purchase Doorbuster.

There are usually one or two Special Purchase Doorbusters at Target during Black Friday. In 2019 it was a 65″ Roku Smart UHD Element TV for $279.99. Since it was a special Black Friday offering, there’s no regular price listed, but a comparable TV (TCL brand) retails for $749.99. Also, we saw Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle for $299.99 (reg. $359.98) — 15% savings.

If these two items are on your Christmas shopping list, consider going in store. Otherwise, stay home and shop online!

For two years in a row now, Target has offered almost all Black Friday deals 24 hours earlier for RedCard holders. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving, starting at midnight (PT), RedCard shoppers could get a jump start on Black Friday deals.

But here’s the catch — you have to be fast because even though Target offers early access to RedCard holders, there are limited quantities available. When an item is gone, you’ll have to wait for Black Friday shopping to open online on Thursday.
